It's a good book to have for reference, and one that we have recommended previously.
I'm glad we were able to give you the right advice and support justdad... to hear that we're doing it right is what motivates us! Thanks.
No worries MoJo, I'm very grateful.
With your help and also that of a friend who is a MKF, I achieved close to 50-50.
I now act as a MKF myself - in fact just won a case last week where a guy who hadn't seen his children unsupervised since Jan now has 50-50. I can't explain the sense of achievement and satisfaction.
Of course there are cases where I see fathers being given indirect or no contact - that too is a special kind of feeling - in a bad way 🙁
You know family law - ups / downs and injustices splattered with the success stories.
We help many, but only a few tend to stick around to share their experience, so we greatly appreciate your input... it's invaluable and there's no better motivation for members just starting out, than hearing of others success.
I can absolutely relate to the highs and lows of what we do... thankfully there are more highs than lows, but the inconsistency of the family courts makes giving advice much harder and I never get used to the injustice we sometimes have to deal with...and that awful sinking feeling when things don't go well.
